Table 4. Antioxidant activity of the experimental mice after treatment with saline, Luzindole, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and Luzindole+LPS.
| Markers | Saline | Luzindole | LPS | Luzindole+LPS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NP-SHs (μmol/mg tissue) | 0.07±0.01 | 0.37±0.06a | 0.18±0.008 | 0.21±0.02 |
| CAT (mmol/min per mg tissue) | 1.51±0.06 | 0.90±0.10a | 1.32±0.05b | 0.69±0.07a |
| MDA (nmol/mg tissue) | 0.021±0.001 | 0.020±0.002 | 0.027±0.002 | 0.029±0.003 |
| Nitrite/nitrate (µmol/mg protein) | 0.22±0.003 | 0.15±0.001 | 0.42±0.07 | 0.23±0.06 |
Data are reported as means±SE. NP-SHs: non-protein sulfhydryls; CAT: catalase; MDA: malondialdehyde. aP<0.05 compared with saline. bP<0.05 compared with Luzindole+LPS (ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test).
